Barr, 65, made headlines when she said President Barack Obama's former advisor Valerie Jarrett was like "Muslim brotherhood" and "planet of the apes." Her own costars denounced her comments, and ABC immediately canceled the successful reboot.

West, 40, is no stranger to Twitter controversy. On May 1, fans were outraged when the rapper said slavery was a choice. He later defended his comments on social media, saying "I will not allow my tongue to be cut."

"His heart goes out to people like Roseanne and Trump, because he feels they're good people who are edgy, just like himself," the source summed up. "And like him, gets slaughtered for it on a regular basis."
